GDT: GM 39 | Vancouver Canucks @ Montreal Canadiens | Jan 6 | 4:30PM PST | Amazon Prime

Small timid rookie, who's not ready for the bigs.

Clearly not ready, I’m not sure why they call him up. He’s scoring in the AHL but that’s about all he’s doing and needs to work on his overall game to play in the NHL.

 

[wonton15]

I do think we can play much faster and physical and Montreal is going to see this if they keep provoking the D

 

[VanillaCoke]

Is Lekkerimaki demoted for getting blown up?

Looks nervous and tentative. Put hog up.

 

[bbud]

Solid pk

Solid pk

Despite buttmas zebra efforts

 

[WTG]

f***ING HOGLANDER

BE BETTER

 

[wonton15]

Hoglander Miller Boeser cowards

 

[Lawzy]

I know that's a penalty but I'm not even exaggerating when I say that happens to Garland multiple times a shift and yet I've never seen anyone call it.

 

[Nucker101]

3 sog vs the Habs


This is a tough watch

 

[Bleach Clean]

Sasson has taken a few hits too.

Lekkerimaki needs to get his boots on tighter. Get ready to play.

Yeah but if we can score on every third shot we will probably only need 12 shots tonight

Habs only have 6 with a pp nucks played ok usual road warriors in 1st

 

[MS]

Lekkerimaki simply is not ready for this level and should have been left in Abbotsford for the rest of the season.

Yeah, fair enough. I hate this hockey though. I get why Rick is doing this too with Hronek/Petey out and Hughes playing hurt, but as an entertainment product this is brutal man.

 

[wonton15]

Lekk was probably the wrong call up and we would’ve done better with someone like Aman plugging on the 4th and Hoglander moved up.

 

[Tact]

Really enjoying prime broadcast

Send a note to Tocchet and Allvin. They probly won't realize he shouldn't be called up until they hear it from you.

Young players like that need to stay down and cook, get there confidence up. There treating him like some scrub prospect, up and down, playing on his off wing, gets absolutely blown up because of that, he'll go back with less confidence every single time.

I really think he's going to struggle with Tocchet as his coach too. Personally I'd be very open to trading him.

I'm willing to bet Lankinen extension is announced before afternoon mass Sunday.

Lekkerimaki has consistently put up points and shots in the AHL while his team is on a 6 game losing streak. He was the right call up. (As an emergency)

Whether he takes advantage of the call up is an entirely different story.

You should be calling up players based on who fills up the roster spot best, not who is playing the best in the AHL.

By most/all accounts, he has been putting up points, but every other part of his game is clearly not NHL ready. He should be brewing down there, not being jerked around and blown up when not ready.

Just because you’re producing in the AHL doesn’t mean you’re physically ready for the NHL.
